Pink streamers, pink balloons, pink flamingos, pink shirts, pink everything – pink is officially the colour of October in the Mid-Western region with the return of the Pink Up campaign. In 2016, Mudgee turned pink for the McGrath Foundation. In 2017, the whole region has signed up. From ‘flocking’ a friend, Pink Royale Ball to morning teas and pink sausages – this year is set to be pinker than the Pink Panther.
